textured adventures

Lately I find myself being inspired by the patterns and textures that I found in my day to day activities. I realized that when looking back through the photos I snapped this weekend, most of my album was exactly that, textures and patterns oh my! So take the time to look around and breath in your surroundings friends!

DIY {dye-free easter eggs}

My grandma was the one who rooted most of my family traditions and one of my greatest memories was every Easter heading over to her house and finding a basket with my name in it. She would hide them all over her house and out of 12 cousins there were a lot of baskets to search through. (of course we would help each other out if we found one another's) I've been going strong on keeping that tradition alive in my grandma's honor and this year is not any different. Well the only difference is that I tried out a new way to decorate the eggs. Instead of traditional dying, I opted for a more fun, yet messier way, glitter and markers. It's always fun to put a new spin on an old tradition, try it!

{inspiration} confetti systems

Ever since I first came across these sparkly fun garlands, I've been wanting to try my hand at making my own. I've attempted smaller versions and have seen many others and can't wait to try mine. In fact, I'm leaving to go get my materials right now.

coral & grey nails

I've always had a thing for a nice manicure, however I've never really had the patience to experiment on my own nails until recently. I've come across endless amounts of inspiration for my little fingertips and I've noticed most of the ones that I gravitate towards have these very girly elements; coral, glitter, stripes, peach, grey, dots, black, and metallics. It doesn't hurt that my favorite beauty site has started a 'mani monday' column that I am utterly in love with.

DIY {valentine's heart arrow pick}

In the spirit of good old cupid, I grabbed some cut out hearts, glitter and arrow picks to put this little project together just in time for Valentine's day. Honestly, what girl can't get enough of glitter and hearts? This was easiest to do with a few kiddos and add to a sweet treat made later in the day. Hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day!

Happy crafting friends!

DIY {glitter mason jar candle holder}

A few months back, I got my hands on tons of mason jars and haven't quite decided what I wanted to do with them until now. With my recent addiction to glitter, as you must know by now, I decided why not glitter the mason jars for stylish holiday table decor. YES! So grab your jars, double stick tape and glitter color of choice and get crafty friends!

Here is my winter wonderland version. Stay tuned for the tablescape photos.

{inspiration} glitterific

I'm not exactly sure what makes glitter so inviting. Is it the sparkly capability, the unexplainable fact that it sticks to you forever after, that it comes in all colors? Whatever it is, glitter always makes me happy. And I must say that this week I've been completely covered in it from fun projects that I hope to share with you.

I've always had the largest crush on the girls over at ban.do. They definitely know how to bring it when it comes to hair candy and their new holiday collection is nothing less than perfection. Large bows, glitter hearts, sequin headbands and pom poms. What else could a girl want to spruce up during the holidays, ban.do that is! 

colorful nail frenzy

I have been noticing more so than ever lately, the creativity that women have been applying when it comes to their nails. And I must say, I like it a LOT! It gives us yet another way to explore fun ways to showcase our creativity and add color to our everyday lives. I can't wait to try all of these pretty styles/shades!
